Job Search- starting over

[jgang]

1. Don't burn any bridges.....but you know that already.
2. Network, network, network
3. Open the aperture (consider any possibility)
4. Don't give up.

I finally started a new job last Wednesday after retiring from the AF in October of 14. Took 5 months off to finished our basement and rebuild the deck, but continued the job search the whole time. It was a slog trying to find the right gig. I got involved with myriad veterans volunteer groups and got myself invited to several councils and meetings. One of which revealed the job I just started....would never have known about it had I not injected myself into the situation. Biggest challenge for me was simply trying to decide what I wanted to do or be in my second career.
